He was hosted in Indianapolis by former Vice President Charles Fairbanks. Taft spoke on the recently negotiated Canadian American Reciprocity Treaty, which aimed to reduce agricultural tariffs. The treaty was unpopular in Canada, where many believed it was a step towards "annexation" by the United States. With the election of a conservative Canadian government in 1911, the treaty was not ratified. Seller Inventory # 14793
